One spring is placed inside the other, not touching each other, and compressed between a pair of parallel plates until the distance between the plates is 40 mm. Make a neat detailed sketch of the spring and plate assembly. If G = 83 GPa for both springs, calculate the following: 1. The force applied to the spring assembly. 2. The shear stress induced in each spring. 3. The total strain energy stored in the spring assembly. 4. The stiffness of each spring. 5. The equivalent stiffness of a single spring that can be substituted in place of these springs.

Two steel wines support a moveable overhead camera weighing W = 28 lb (see figure part a) used For close-up to viewing of field action at sporting, events. At some instant, wire I is at an angle a = 22° to the horizontal and wire 2 is at angle fi = 40°. Wires I and 2 have diameters of 30and 35 mils, respectively. (Wire diameters are often expressed in mils; one mil equals 0.001 in.) (a) Determine the tensile stresses s and s2 in the two wires. (b) If the stresses in wires 1 and 2 must be the same, what is the required diameter of wire 1 ? (c) To stabilize the camera for windy outdoor conditions, a third wire is added (see figure part b). Assume the three wires meet at a common point coordinates (0, 0. 0) above the camera at the instant shown in figure part b. Wire I is attached to a support at coordinates (75 ft, 48 ft, 70 Ft). Wire 2 is supported at (-70 ft. 55 ft, 80 Ft). Wire 3 is supported at (-10 ft. -85 Ft, 75 ft). Assume that all three wires have a diameter of 30 mils. Find the tensile stresses in all three wires
A small lab scale has a rigid L-shaped frame ABC consisting of a horizontal arm AB (length b = 10 in.) and a vertical arm BC (length c = 7 in.) pivoted al point B. The pivot is attached to the outer frame BCD that stands on a laboratory bench. The position of the pointer al C is controlled by a spring, Jt = 5 lb/in., that is attached to a threaded rod. The pitch of the threads is p = 1/16 in. Under application of load W, 12 revolutions of the nut are required to bring the pointer back to the mark. Calculate the weight W.
A bicycle chain consists of a series of small links, where each are 12 mm long between the centers of the pins (see figure). You might wish to examine a bicycle chain and observe its construction. Note particularly the pins, which have a diameter of 2.5 mm. To solve this problem, make two measurements on a bicycle (see figure): (1) the length L of the crank arm from main axle to pedal axle and (2) the radius R of the sprocket (the toothed wheel, sometimes called the chainring). (a) Using your measured dimensions, calculate the tensile force T in the chain due to a force F = 800 N applied to one of the pedals. (b) Calculate the average shear stress T averin the pins.
